My local Woodcraft store in Springfield, VA, has one sitting on the shelf with the chisels and carving knives.

Here is one place that I know has blanks & rough outs of horses. There are many places that carry them, if you do a Google search you can comparision shop. Carving is a great hobby, I'm sure your wife will enjoy. Tell her to join this forum, lots of great people willing to help here.
